EPSC is happy to announce our Eastern Council Trip for 2023. We have chosen Saddleback, Maine as the destination since many people in our EPSC member clubs may not have skied Saddleback in the past and this will offer some new experiences for our club members. Saddleback was open for many years but closed in 2015. The resort remained closed until 2020, but, under new management and significant investment, Saddleback reopened for the 2020-21 season. Saddleback is the third largest ski area in Maine and offers a good variety of skiing for all levels.  

Trip Information:

The Trip will be run as a Council drive-it-yourself trip that anyone from any EPSC club can participate in. Here is the key trip information that you need to plan your trip:

The Rangeley Inn is located in the center of Rangeley, walking distance to shops, galleries, and eateries. The rustic Tavern is open nightly for dinner, and the historic dining room offers breakfast every morning. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to drive to Saddleback in the winter from the Rangeley Inn.

Option Ski Day Add-on:

Pre-Trip Ski Day at Killington (IKON Pass Resort) (Sat., Sun) and Post-Trip Ski Day (Fri., Sat., Sun)

  • IKON Pass holders can ski FREE at Killington on these days.
  • For non-IKON Pass holders, Killington will provide a specific link/code for EPSC, valid to purchase lift tickets on participant’s own for the following dates (2/25-2/27 & 3/3-3/5)
  •  Killington will offer 10%-20% off the already discounted online rates (which vary between 40% off midweek and 5% off on weekends/holidays depending how far out you purchase). 
  • An actual price cannot yet be quoted because the EPSC discount will be based on a % discount off the already discounted online rates and those do not exist yet.
  • EPSC would distribute the online code to our members signed up for the Saddleback trip and individuals would just purchase the tickets on their own for the days they want, reload their existing RFID or get a new one, and pick it up from an automated kiosk machine at any lodge.
